notes_move

Destructive

Move a note to a different folder, even across accounts, with optional dry run to verify destination before moving.

Instructions

Move a note to another folder, including folders in another account. Defaults to dryRun=true so clients can verify the resolved note and destination before moving.

Input Schema

folderNameNoFolder name used to disambiguate title lookup.
accountNameNoAccount name used to disambiguate title lookup.
destinationFolderIdNoDestination folder ID.
destinationAccountIdNoDestination account ID.
destinationFolderNameNoDestination folder name.
destinationAccountNameNoDestination account name.
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

The description adds key behavioral context beyond annotations: it defaults to dryRun=true, allowing verification before moving, and supports cross-account moves. Annotations already indicate destructive intent, and the description aligns without contradiction.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two concise sentences with no fluff. The first sentence states the core purpose, and the second provides critical default behavior upfront.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a destructive tool with many parameters and no output schema, the description covers the main purpose, cross-account capability, and dryRun default. Missing details like error cases or response structure, but still sufficient for basic understanding.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all parameters. The description adds value by noting the dryRun default and advising use of accountName/folderName when noteId is unknown, but does not elaborate further on parameter constraints or relationships.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the verb 'move' and resource 'note', specifying the capability to move to another folder or even across accounts. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like notes_create, notes_update, and notes_delete.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies using dryRun first but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives (e.g., notes_update). No when-not-to-use guidance or prerequisites are provided.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
